If you are looking to reap the rewards of international travel without having to travel far or break the bank, Toronto is the perfect choice!
Here are seven (7) things to see and do in Toronto:
1. The CN Tower - The CN Tower comes in at just over 550 meters tall and is the perfect opportunity for visitors to get a bird’s eye view of Toronto. It also has one of the highest glass floor elevators in the world.
2. Kensington Market - Kensington Market is the prime location to explore the arts within Toronto. This former Jewish market is filled with fresh food, clothing stores, and unusual cafes.
This is also a prime location to find local street artists and musicians performing for a crowd.
3. Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada - Housing more than 13,000 exotic marine animals, the Ripley’s Aquarium holds more than 5.7-million-gallons of water.
Split up into nine galleries, each section of the aquarium highlights a specific geographical location or species of marine life.
4. Casa Loma - This once Gothic castle is now a museum with the revived architecture and towers on full display.
Check out the suites, stables, and even wander the gardens on your own or with self-guided audio tours.
5. Distillery District - Recently declared a National Historic Site of Canada, the district is full of residential and commercial buildings that serve as the most extensive collection of Victorian-era industrial architecture.
The Distillery District also houses art galleries, jewelers, and once Christmas time comes, it transforms into a fantastic Christmas Market.
6. Hockey Hall of Fame - Come face-to-face with the Stanley Cup as it sits in the center of the Great Hall, or simply explore any number of the 15 exhibits displaying various trophies and hockey memorabilia.
7. Art Gallery of Ontario - This is Canada’s largest art gallery. Housed inside is one of the largest collections of Henry Moore’s sculptures.
